Voto Latino hosts its annual event celebrating diversity in the media, with MSNBC’s Rashida Jones, NBCU Telemundo Enterprises’ Mónica Gil and 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega as honorees. The Decatur House event is hosted by Rosario Dawson and María Teresa Kumar. Quavo, 33, will attend the dinner as a guest of ABC News. The rapper rose to stardom as one-third of the hip-hop group Migos, which also featured his nephew, Takeoff.

But Mr. Biden, who has held fewer news conferences than his predecessors, also hinted that could come with some criticism. President Biden has been sharpening his jokes as of late, mostly to target his opponent, former President Donald J. Trump. On Saturday, he is expected to extend the roast to members of the press during the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. On MSNBC, Ayman Mohyeldin hosts Ayman starting at 7 p.m.

Cupp, Scott Jennings, Van Jones, Cari Champion and Van Lathan, the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned news network will be spotlighting the journalism-student scholarships and award winners as much as the celebs. After comedian Michelle Wolf’s sharp satire sparked controversy in 2018, the event the following year featured historian Ron Chernow. The return of celebrities this time recalls President Barack Obama’s administration, when the likes of George Clooney, Charlize Theron and Viola Davis attended.

PT, with an NBC News reporter on the red carpet. PT, MSNBC will be inside the WHCD, again with coverage hosted by Mohyeldin. That raised questions about whether the 79-year-old Biden should have attend Saturday’s dinner. The president planned to pass up the meal but turn up later for the program and wear a mask when not speaking.

From her, it spread to Chris Cillizza, then at the Washington Post, and then the world via the hashtag #nerdprom. By the day after the 2009 dinner, NBC News’ Chris Jansing declared in her report that “inside the beltway, it's known as the nerd prom,” as though it had been called that for decades. There’s an excitement tonight that I just have not felt in the past two White House Correspondents’ Dinners that I have attended. It’s like people coming back to school from summer break — but two years later.

Joe Biden Says He's "Happy to" Debate Donald Trump, Whose Team Quickly Agrees

"I had the greatest time," he told Fox News in 2016. He's also never met a negative story he couldn't spin. Donald Trump — who famously was comically destroyed at the 2011 WHCD by both President Obama and NBC’s Seth Meyers — refused to attend the event while in office.

C-SPAN will present live coverage of the event as well as the red carpet, and CNN and MSNBC are planning coverage of the dinner. NBC reports that pro-Palestinian activists, as with environmentalists last year, will protest the event. I believe their goal of shutting it down, however, is misguided. Suppressing art and/or political speech, especially when the speech is neither an incitement to violence nor targeting any one group, is a terrible idea. Depending on whom you speak to, comedian Michelle Wolf either bombed or spoke truth to power in 2018.

Covid concerns linger as WHCD returns after 2-year pandemic break

There's just a truly palpable joy in the room. People want to talk to each other and catch up. Some of President Biden’s most effective jokes jabbed at Fox News reporters for well… not encouraging their viewers to get the jab.

I generally think press criticism is healthy, and making fun of an outlet for pulling punches or being too cozy with the people it covers is a kind of accountability. The WHCD specifically is a little too insider-y for most people to get or care about. But the people in the room do get it — and being told they’re lazy or corrupted or willing to pull punches or too cozy with their sources in front of hundreds of their peers isn’t exactly fun. The White House Correspondents' Dinner is back after a two-year hiatus. Trevor Noah headlined and President Joe Biden delivered remarks at the star-studded event in Washington. But Mr. Biden is also expected to issue a more serious warning at a time when journalists around the world are being jailed or detained more frequently for doing their job.

And one of the main rules is no jokes about the king, sheik, president, or whatever title the leader goes by. So far tonight, we are zero for two on the gag videos that have been screened at the dinner. The first featured the (soon-to-be-former) “Late Late Show” host James Corden trying to get a job at the White House and being sent out as press secretary. I can only assume that the White House reporters sitting in the Brady Press Room for this bit had either been bullied into taking part or promised that the tape would never actually see the light of day.

The 2024 White House Correspondents' Dinner takes place on Saturday April 27 at the Washington Hilton. The so-called "Nerd Prom" attracts presidents, senior government officials, the media, and--in more recent years--Hollywood stars. Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update Co-Lead Colin Jost headlines this year's dinner, following in the footsteps of fellow comedians Darrell Hammond, Jay Leno, Stephen Colbert, Conan O'Brien, Keegan-Michael Key, and Trevor Noah. The 103-year-old event is a celebration of the First Amendment, with proceeds going towards the work of the White House Correspondents' Association and the journalists who cover the presidency, as well as scholarships and other awards. Every president since Calvin Coolidge in 1924 has attended at least once during their time in office, except for former President Donald Trump.
